Brummie Clyde Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I remember Ardler when it was Blackshade and prefabs. Linlathen for me. Villa and Clyde, what more could you ask for? Were these made in the 1950s? Just wondering why it only mentions 2 of Clyde's 3 Cup wins 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Can't see any mention of Chelsea Whoppers. They were the sweet of choice to use up any spare change when I was in Primary School. So if you bought a can of Irn Bru for 32p and you had 40p on you, you'd ask for the rest in Chelsea Whoppers. Superbly sweet, chewy and chocolatey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it most if not all our now scarce herring is now sold abroad as it makes more money? Guy round our way used to sell herring from his car boot. His car must have been stinking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Herring, not processed, smoked or pickled, just straight forward fresh herring, which used to be a staple healthy Scottish food. I take it most if not all our now scarce herring is now sold abroad as it makes more money?We still catch them on tiny silver lures when trying to catch sandeels for bait. Plenty in the lower Clyde and around Kintyre. Split while still steely blue backed and dipped in oatmeal then fried one of the finest eating fish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Highlander Prawn Cocktail crisps were coated in so much paprika that you got a pleasant tingle in your mouth for about 30 mins.

Similar situation to their Powerful Prawns, which have replaced Petrified Prawns in the shops. On 14/06/2021 at 17:44, BFTD said: How big exactly were Big Wagon Wheels? Never sure if this is an "everything's getting smaller" thing, or if it's just an "I've been slowly getting bigger since I was wee and I'm too thick to realise" situation. My pet peeve in this area has always been Big Macs; they were roughly the size of a standard 1984 hamburger when last I checked. The smaller a Wagon Wheel is the better it is. Ghastly things.

milton75 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 On a similar note to the Highlanders above, I was very fond of the Bacon & Bean flavour Postman Pat crisps. They tasted similar to Spicy Bikers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I remembered Birds Ice Magic today for the first time in years. They stopped selling it in 2009 but you can get similar gunk I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's mainly coconut oil, which is why it solidifies with the cold of the ice cream, but is as fatty as all f**k, so it's maybe a good thing it's gone; none of us getting any younger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
